Mach 1 Oil Question

[Mach428]

Just wondering, with the filter, should I change the oil with 5 or 6 QTs, my friend does 6 but isn't that to much?

I believe the manual says 6

7 qts.

6 is the manual specification. Most people say 6.5 will make the dipstick appear as full, but I'd rather be a tiny bit too low than overfull.

6 quarts for sure!!!!!!! WARNING JUST LIKE MY O2 GT WHERE THEY CHANGED THE OIL PAN IN 01 FROM 5 QTS TO 6QTS AND DIDN'T CHANGE THE DIPSTICK TO REFLECT THE CHANGE ONLY PUT IN 6QTS....NOT 61/2 OR 7 LIKE MOST WOULD TELL YOU.......................

off topic, but how much do you guys pay monthly for your mach 1? just curious because we are looking to buy a new car. thanks

Actually, it IS 7 qts. I put in 7 qts and whaddya know, it's full. Hmm.....must be 7 is right.

6 quarts puts mine right in between the min and max on my dipstick

Congrats on overfilling your oil and losing HP and maybe ruining your engine by foaming the oil. This is a known issue with the 4.6 but do as you please.............

6qts with filter read your manual it doesn't lie but the oil pan change caused the false reading of half way between max/min.

If Im not mistaken I read somewhere to use 6.4 Qts. I think it was in the Chilton manual for the 96 4.6s with manual tranny. Is 99+ any different, will it hurt to only use 6 instead of buying a 7th quart and not using it all?
